Please don’t delay seeing a doctor and scheduling the surgery. Since the stones are moving around the longer you wait the more risk you have of a stone blocking the bile duct and starting gangrene or worse having the gallbladder rupture and cause peritonitis.Either way you have surgery, the only difference is the amount of time you would have to be in the hospital. The surgery is simple amd done out patient.
Once I had the surgery I had no more issues with that kond of sickening pain. Best of luck to you.
I make my own hemp, jute, bamboo-silk, and cotton ropes (I have a few others in the works but they are in the testing phase so coming soon), and when I vend at events I offer dyed nylon rope.
I’ve found after testing the different materials (natural vs. synthetic that is; testing each type of material against each other is another another post entirely) and… asking a few different people from different engineering backgrounds what could be attributed to the failure of synthetic vs. natural ropes that tend to be twisted in their construction vs. synthetic that tends to be braided.
Basicly the braided nylon rope allows for a more even wear and tear over the material over the life of the rope.
This information was brought to me by some friends at the United States Army Corps of Engineers and a mechanical engineer that I keep on staff here at Bastard Ropes. So if Ive butchered the re-telling of this info…oops.
Cheers,
There is definitely a difference for us. When we swing it might be all in the same room, or might be separate rooms, but it is still swapping partners. As an open relationship we date individuals separately. I might have a guy that I see on one night and he might have a date on another. For us it was a matter of convenience, we don’t have to get a sitter if we go out separately. And since we have no jealousy issues it seems to work for us.
You can be flogged standing in the middle of the room, laying on a table, or hanging from your ankles as you swing (moving target). But none of that has to be submissive.
Your question implies that the act of being tied to something is being submissive. But this is not true, being tied is being tied there is no way to understand the intent behind it without asking the person. There are many labels int he BDSM world. Sometimes to our detriment.
In the simplest terms the action in most play scenes can be described as having a top performing an action on a bottom. If there is no mental dynamic in the scene this is where it ends. However if there is a dominate/submissive component that can add to the scene, but the matchup is not necessarily top=dom & bottom=sub. T dominate in the relationship may like to get flogged and so they take the bottom position and have their submissive flog them. The dominate can even be tied to a cross, the act does not decide the mental state, it’s the mental state that decides the act.
I have a friend on Fet who lists “Having the, ‘I’m a bottom and not a submissive conversation.'” as one of her dislikes on her profile. She loves to be restrained, flogged, pinched, etc. but there is no D/s dynamic in the scene when I play with her. Conversely, my wife is submissive and the D/s relationship we have is mostly in play all of the time even though we are not sceneing.
The bottom line really is to find what you like and do that and have fun. There is a growing trend on Fet to use the description Kinkster. I think this is a great way to say, “None of these labels fit me, but I enjoy this stuff.”
So, I guess the short answer is, No, you do not have to be submissive to enjoy being flogged.
Personally, it was a problem. There were also issues due to stomach cramps. There is no delicate way to put this so… it is very hard to pass wind with it in and over time the gases build up and cause cramping. The fluting on the side of the 2.0 is inadequate as a vent and one has chatted to a couple of people who have had this issued. It is OK for short term wear, but it is not a favourite for long term.
There is a large one that weighs in at just under 11oz (310g for the rest of the world). None of the issues and more of the fun 🙂
The previous 2 partners I met, I met through my volunteer work. One thing about volunteering is, you know whomever you meet will at least have the same cause in common with you.
On POF I made sure I put a statement about being on the right side of the slash and left it at that so if they knew what it meant, we also had that in common, but if they didn’t know, then it was just something I had to figure out a bit more about.
